PROVO, Utah –Police in Provo are asking the public for their help locating a man missing since Wednesday morning.

Police say they want to check on the welfare of Matthew “Brett” Pitts, who was last seen Wednesday morning when he left his phone at home and his work identification at work.

The 42-year-old man may be driving a 2013 white Ford Escape with Utah license plate W739CL.
